Took the grips off, they are marked also #11. The mag safety from what I can see is still very much there, plunger spring and the release. The chip area look like a clean cut and not a break. I'm not expert of Lugers, I said this is my first one, so I'm virgin to knowledge of what I read only and then things are not always clear.
